Wife's laptop was stolen and It sent results yesterday. If I can find out what IP address it used, the cops might be able to retireve it

Assuming that it was sending back results to your account, you should be able to do this yourself (you can see the information, but other users cannot). Go to your account, click on view computers. Click on the specific computer. Click on view IP address (near the top).

Wow, it sounds like you guys did this without me. It's not the first time that SETI@home was used to track a stolen laptop. If you have the aprroximate time of the last contact (or if you give me the host ID number), I can look in the logs to see if there is any more information. But beyond the IP address, which you already have, there's probably not much in there.

I'm following this too. We had a team member a couple of years back that got his laptop back the same way, with the cops tracing the IP returned by his SETI client running hidden as a service.

Edit: Same member got a client's PC back the same way with BOINC after an employee "misplaced" it.

Also, in both instances, Scott had given the information to the investigating officers, who quickly used the IP address to track down the suspect. Just give your investigating officer a call, they'll be thrilled to solve one so easily.Team Starfire World BOINC

I think the person in possession is in the St. Paul - Minneapolis twin cities area. And yes, that IS a long way from Ireland, which makes me think: Maybe the thief sold it on eBay and shipped it? It's a possible lead. Maybe the police could contact eBay and see if anyone recently sold a laptop from a seller in Ireland to a purchaser in Minneapolis-St.Paul's?
